“If a player can’t go one month or 20 days without having sexual relations, then they are not prepared to be a professional player,” he told the Mexican newspaper Reforma. “So then we will not be looking for sex or having sex at the World Cup just to have it, we are going to go after what we came for, a competition that gives us the opportunity to rise above and do something really great.”

Why is he hated?

— Sometimes, his emotions can get the better of him.

After he took the picture with Brady, Herrera “refused to answer questions about the starting lineup, canceled the mixed zone interviews and accused members of the media of drawing a giant pig on the whiteboard inside his team’s dressing room after [a friendly] game against Bosnia-Herzegovina,” according to an ESPN report.

He also took a shot at the Bosnians after his team lost, saying, “These ‘dirty pigs’ won’t be able to do [these] kind of things in a World Cup. Referees in a World Cup will be smarter and not allow these cheap and dirty tactics.”
